Stargate insanity

[iainjclark]

Oh god. I've seen photos from tonight's 200th episode of the entertaining-yet-meh Stargate SG-1.

I may never scrub my mind clean. And now, neither may you.



And as if it's not bad enough that they've imported half the cast of Farscape, now they're doing homages.







It's the Wizard of Oz pic that's truly disturbing me. Apparently the 'plot' involves the characters pitching ideas for a spin-off movie based on the fake SG-1 style show Wormhole Xtreme.

Needless to say it looks deeply, deeply silly.

And now, apparently, the show is cancelled. So much for my L&O analogy.

I'm hardly upset, but it does seem a little mean to drop the axe in the middle of the 200th episode celebrations.

Stargate's been cancelled?

[abigail-n.livejournal.com]

Yup.

Atlantis has been renewed, though (although cynics in the fan community have pointed out that a fourth season is necessary for the show to go into syndication, and there's a lot of speculation that if its ratings don't pick up, Atlantis will be in the dustbin this time next year), and there are some rumors about SG1 actors crossing over.

It's funny because I was under the (probably mistaken) impression that Atlantis was sllightly outperforming SG-1 and even Battlestar Galactica in the ratings.

From what I've gathered, Atlantis is outperforming SG1, but not to the point where its ratings are impressive. No idea on BSG, but that show has other factors keeping it afloat - as one of the most critically beloved shows on TV, it gives the Sci Fi channel some much needed cachet.
